I got a bit more than I bargained for with this new job. And part of that is that I’m flying out today for a week in one of my least favorite places, Orlando. Ironically, I’ll be wined and dined at the finest steakhouses in the city, a different one every night. Well, I can always get a pizza afterwards.
The single most wonderful thing: our biggest supplier of isocyanates is hosting a reception in a room called, I shit you not, “Courtyard Bhopal.” This will keep me smiling all week.
Birthdays also keep me smiling, and today’s are no exception. First up, an accidental president; then a guy I never heard of, but what a great name; the original Rocket Man; the center of the greatest comedy act EVER; the hack cartoonist who inspired “Christ, what an asshole”; the best Czech of all; a badly under-rated comic actor; and a pretentious mediocrity who deserves all the mockery we can bestow upon him.

SugarFree may have to revise his Team Blue status image with another big ol’ X. Maybe one that will get him out of public “service” altogether, Yahweh willing.

Not even that- I looked at the menu of the first place we’re going and every fucking salad had some sort of meat involved. “I’ll have a Diet Coke.”
Little do ya know, every steakhouse adds a splash of beef broth to the soda. You’re fucked, dude. Sneak some Triskets in your pocket. 😉

There’s plenty more stories about this if you want to go down that rabbit hole.
Penn Jillette has had some great rants about Mother Teresa and her “death kink”.

I fully confess to having some VERY strong regional prejudices when it comes Florida. They are almost certainly arbitrary and capricious but I’m too set in my ways to change.

Besides that. And that. Oh yeah, that too.
I have a soft spot in my head for the coast because I grew up there, starting back in the days when UCF was FTU.
That guy from the jury overslept and then didn’t tell anyone he wasn’t going to come. Mind you this is after he’s been selected and sworn in.
Jail for ten days isn’t called for, but comeon man, show some responsibility.
If he was responsible he would have avoided jury duty in the first place. Or at least not been selected to actually sit on one.
^this^
He could talk to some Baltimorons, many are well versed in know how you get out of it, asking for a friend I mean.
We had one guy who got removed from the room several times, because every time they would ask on the the ‘do you, have you’ questions, the guy would stand up and say ‘May I be excused now?’.
Luckily the judge felt some heat, and has reduced the sentence. Doesn’t fix the excessive 10 days, of course:
Judge is still a dick.
Also, why does the judge who is offended get to be the trial judge for the contempt case? Doesn’t basic fairness require an impartial judge to decide a case, not what is essentially the plaintiff in a civil suit acting as judge in his own case?
So what happens to people who show up and pull a jury nullification? They get punished because of the FYTW clause?

“This is going to show others you have to take this very seriously, but this 21-year-old with no prior record now has a misdemeanor conviction,” said Suskauer. “Could there have been other alternatives to be more instructive and less punitive? It’s possible.”

Somerville spent 10 days in jail is on probation for a year and has to complete 150 hours of community service.
Christ, kid. If you ever find yourself up for jury duty again just scream ‘Jury Nullification!’ and you can go about your life.
Right?!?
Dude just got out of jury duty for cause for the rest of his life.
I can’t believe nobody is coming behind this judge to fix this. Dude is straight up evil, even if the facts are worse than presented. A year on probation for missing jury duty? Good lord!
“center of the greatest comedy act EVER”
I knew who this was before I even looked. I loved these guys when I was 8 years old, laughed at them with my kids through their maturation processes and today all I have to do is hold up my hand to my nose and my 53 year old daughter goes yuk-yuk-yuk. One always knew the results before the action, easy to understand.
If I have to go to the Old Folks’ Shelter I only hope they have a library of Short Subjects.
At my old job, I was once at a professional conference with the rest of the tech group. One member, whom I hadn’t met before, was a black woman about my age, 60 at the time. We sat next to each other at dinner at a large (maybe 12 people) table and had a very pleasant conversation. At one point, someone else at the table mentioned Niagara Falls. The woman said almost under her breath, “Slowly I turn…” I responded, and within a few seconds, the entire table was in shocked silence as we performed the routine. Then segued into the Maha routine. We were in hysterics, me especially. “You know, you’re not really the demographic I’d expect for a Stooge fan.” Grins and hugs.
Hard to imagine anyone not liking those guys, they cut across all ethnic/cultural boundaries
I watched them every Sunday after church for the first 12 years of my life. They had all of the episodes on TCM network and I DVRed all of them.
My dad and I still use the “get the dynamite” line any time we have to move or demo any thing substantial.

I remember watching them with my buddies in the Marines every Sunday morning while we were nursing our hangovers. The tv room in the barracks would be filled with guys from everywhere and of all colors laughing our asses off. They truly cut across all the demographics.
They cut across all demographics but one. For some reason, most chicks just don’t think the Stooges are funny, which I find completely flabbergasting.

We had a great game night last night. We started playing Settlers of Catan. It’s a great game without being so long or boring as Monopoly or Risk.
How many players is it for?
Initial game is 2-4, there’s an expansion for up to 6 players. 6 players is a lot of fun. Granted so are the others, but 6 is far less predictable. If you like Craps, you’ll like Catan.
We’re likely getting some expansion packs once we play more.
I only recommend the 5-6 players expansion. The other ones don’t really add to the game. Cities and knights was meh, barbarian hoards was meh… We have them, but we never play with them. Especially because we normally have new players in the group of 5-6 and explaining the basic rules is not to overwhelming.
Really though, besides adding additional players through a larger map, i wouldn’t buy any of the other expansions.
Cool thanks. Will have to pick up.

That was an interesting marketing campaign… run around planting news stories about “I wonder if someone is going to dress up and shoot people at this movie?”
They even had theaters banning people dressing up.
Genius.
That’s a completely stupid idea; it wouldn’t stop any bloodshed at all. The sensible thing would be to just put a sticker on the door saying that you’re not allowed to bring a gun in, or better yet, make it illegal to murder someone.

Breakfast is a good idea. Guess I’ll put in some bacon now.
Oh, nice thick cut peppered bacon.thats going to be good. 3 eggs left for 2 of us. Guess we’re going with scrambled:)
I always go with scrambled, because you can do that in the microwave.
I’m cooking mine in the bacon grease.
Sunday morning bacon and Dubliner cheese omelette cooked in bacon grease is my fave.
Mmm… a nice bowl of cheese grits with scrambled eggs and bacon stirred in, topped with sunny-side for the yolky goodness.
Not enough eggs for an omelette, but might mix some cheese into the eggs.
Cut up a couple Goulda cheese sticks in the eggs. They released some water but I made it work. They were good as was the bacon.

There have been a few weird ass cases of human women being chimeras, where the upper body is one set of XX chromosome but the lower body is effectively her own sister.
They’ve only come to light when there’s a DNA test needed for some legal resson.
Docs suspect far more female chimeras exist than the few we’ve stumbled on.
Calico cats are another oddity. Patches of cat express XX that says “be orange”, part says “be black” and the non sex-linked trait is being a white tuxedo cat.
Thus, calico.
Theory is that in every cell or local clump of cells in a female might choose to express Mom’s X chromosome and another patch expresses Dad’s X.
It fascinating but not pc, but they think it could be why human women are so hard to figure out.
That could really explain some aspects of “daddy issues”…

We have squirrels in our attic we’re not sure how to get rid of and our furnace is crapping out. It’s a good thing we’re going to be out of this piece of shit house in … I don’t know when yet.
May I suggest a bag of peanuts and one of these?
Put the peanuts out in the back yard and sit there with the pellet gun drinking coffee. I’m sure you will figure out what to do next. The only thing you have to worry about is enjoying the squirrels’ antics too much and feeling bad for shooting them.
I’m just about to go put out some peanuts at my parents’ house so we can watch them while drinking our morning coffee. We’ve gotten so we have named a bunch of the local varmits. There are almost no acorns this year, so the squirrels descend on the peanuts like a horde of mongols when we put them out.
Rednecks are the best. We have a mice problem at my office and one of my guys took it upon himself to play McGyver and created homemade traps to kill the fuckers. A true hero.

Come on, people. Timeloose had the answer above:
My dad and I still use the “get the dynamite” line any time we have to move or demo any thing substantial.
I spent an entire year shooting squirrels out of my grandfather’s pear trees. The little buggers would eat a small hole in each pear, pluck the seeds out and then toss the fruit on the ground. I kept count. I killed 120….something…..squirrels. At the end of the year I still did not get any pears and I could not tell a difference in the squirrel population. I did however become veery tired of eating squirrel gumbo. That was also the last time I ate squirrel brains. I ate about 50 in one sitting. I guess that was a lifetime supply because I loved eating them before that….now, not so much.
My great grandmother loved squirrel brains.
“I could not tell a difference in the squirrel population”
Nature abhors a vacuum. Same thing with the deer, my wife worries that we will decimate the local population but every year there is no shortage. This year the DNR has upped the ante, take a deer, each additional antlerless is $2.50 ad infinitum . 1 is enough for me, 2 max.
It isn’t the shooting that grows wearisome. It is the fact that you are going to have to bone out all those deer that limits my own blood lust.
Why would you want to reduce the population by only ten percent?
“…it’s personal this time…”

Now, to the important stuff: Old Guy Music.
I was not familiar with Joe Pass (or should I say Joseph Anthony Jacobi Passalaqua), but man could that dude play! I am not a jazz guy, but I’ve let a bunch of his stuff roll after your video and it’s fantastic!
From his Wiki page, I learned that he had a few problems (“In a few years, he developed a heroin addiction and spent much of the 1950s in prison. He emerged from addiction through a two-and-a-half-year stay in the Synanon rehabilitation program. During that time he “didn’t do a lot of playing”.) and had a few epic career experiences (Pass and Ella Fitzgerald recorded six albums together on Pablo toward the end of Fitzgerald’s career: Take Love Easy (1973), Fitzgerald and Pass… Again (1976), “Hamburg Duets – 1976” (1976), Sophisticated Lady (1975, 1983), Speak Love (1983), and Easy Living (1986).)
Pretty damn solid. And a nice tribute to your sweetheart.
I hope all of you reach deep and find a way to make it a groovy day!
I was lucky enough to meet him a few times after his gigs and chat a bit. Insanely nice guy, told some great stories. Amazing to me how someone can be that talented and not show even a trace of arrogance.
Neat-o!
I have met a few people at the absolute top of their game (music, business, sports, literary) and I an’t think of one who wasn’t surprisingly humble.
It’s the tier down who are the “don’t you know who I am?!?” assholes.
I can confirm.
I was head of house security at a venue where Paul McCartney was throwing an after-concert party with his people. I was working the door with his personal security and he was human enough to stop by afterwards and speak with me for a couple minutes and shake my hand.
I admit to loving some Paul and his music. All anecdotal evidence points to him being a good dude.
So…LUCKY!!

I had been in the pool 20 years and never heard such a thing since we’re all generally friendly enough. I snooped around even asking the Elders (who I get along great with) and they all didn’t know what he was talking about. Mystery Retard Kid WHERE ARE YOU!??!
Of course, I’m nice enough to not use the word lest cumquat whines. Here’s the kicker. He then tells others to not be so sensitive. He’s Robby Soave.

Jim Belushi, Dan Aykroyd announce Blues Brothers cannabis brand
They better name a strain orange whip.
Lower Wacker
John Belushi. What a shame. It makes me sad thinking about that guy. That is when SNL was funny, or I was young enough to think it was. The Blues Brothers is a true classic, at least in my mind. Animal House, same thing. Belushi was quite a thing in my generation and then *poof* he was just gone.
To understand why Belushi was such a talent, all one need do is watch the Animal House pillow fight scene. Belushi does the slow turn to camera and raises a single eyebrow. Comedy gold from what is essentially white space and a simple curve.
There is a reason that great comedy actors are rare. It looks easy, but it isn’t.
We actually have a few right now – even a few women who are great comedy actors. Unfortunately, we live in humorless times.
I’m curious to know which current chicks you think are great. I liked Jaime Pressly in My Name is Earl. Best. Chick. Drunk. EVAH!
You couldn’t make Animal House today.
And if you tried it would be unrecognizable. There isn’t a line in the plot that wouldn’t be so garbled by politics that it wouldn’t even make sense.

*shocked face*
Unpossible!
The problem with genitals is that you can’t really switch them back and forth very easily.
TRANSPHOBIC XENOPHOBE!
“they’re mostly female and mostly same-sex attracted, and *often autistic as well*.”
Emphasis mine.
No offense to LH (if he’s lurking) but this doesn’t really surprise me.
No one ever predicted this, no one saw it coming. And those people know that if they do transition back, they will be unpersoned by their leftist overlords, which is probably not going to help the suicide rate among the transitioned ones.
Yeah, there’s been a lot of anecdotal evidence that these folks aren’t the “wrong sex” – they’re gay. But for some reason convincing them to play at other sex and pretend they’re heterosexual is “woke”.
I read a theory (can’t find the lonk now) that parents would rather think their children are transgender than gay.
IMO, that is completely ass-backward. Gay is normal. Transgender is not. What’s the problem here?
“What’s the problem here?”
Part of the problem is that you now have wacko lefty parents convincing perfectly normal pre-teen kids that they need to change their sex. The kids don’t even know that sex it yet. That’s fucking child abuse if you ask me.
Because trans is being portrayed as a medical condition that can be “fixed”. Gay is just “weird” and off-putting to a lot of people.
Not sure about thre current crop of parents, but when my sister came out to my grandparents, my grandmother later asked me if she would be living as a man now; to her a relationship without both a masculine and feminine role was completely alien and she didn’t understand how the it could work with two women acting as women.
I cant even follow all of that. And I would like to keep it that way.
Not being gay myself, I’m just going to have to assume that just being gay is a far better option than having your dick cut off so that you can get at the top of the identity totem poll. Just sayin.
I suspect this answers Moje’s question re: parents preferring tranny kids to gay. Maybe they want their own reality show on TLC.

Don’t discount the pressure from the trans advocacy groups, schools, medical groups, and the general teenage stupidity associated with being a victim these days. Some of these kids are absolutely convinced they need to change their sex against the parents’ wishes.
Personally, I think a person who’s advising anyone, but particularly a child, that surgically altering their gender is a good idea is straight up fucking evil.

“COMPLY, CITIZEN!”
Baltimore are now sending out threatening letters to everyone who don’t fill in their jury duty thingy within 10 days. I got one even though I filled it out the same day I got the summons out of my mailbox. And in general, people in Baltimore hate jury duty because the shitheads summon you every year, 7 times for me now, because there is too much crime and not enough non-felons in the city to serve on juries. Last time when they adjourned us all for the day, people were jumping up and giving each other high fives. 2 guys were chanting ‘free at last, free at last!’, and people were saying ‘God bless America! Praise the Lord!’. Almost everyone hates going down there, many people get a summons and just throw it in the garbage, then get threatening letters and then hauled before a judge. When someone does show up, they will say anything they can to get out of there. Everyone knows the system is completely corrupt and a joke. I suspect soon that people will be going to jail for not showing up.
That should help whittle down the jury pool.
As long as it doesn’t include me, I’m good, day off of work paid and my bonus $15.
The assholes around here won’t give you your juror stipend if your employer pays you. Utter BS. Where’s the Fight for Fifteen campaign on that horseshit?
That’s BS. That’s to cover parking and lunch. Why should you be out those costs?
I’ve never understood this attitude. It seems to me that serving is the one way a person could actually do good and try and fix the system in a a small way.
World peace?
Same here. I was disappointed when I missed getting on the jury for a criminal case – welfare fraud and pot distribution, smelled like cartel.
I begged off a grand jury because 2-3 days a week for months just won’t work for anyone with a job.
That’s how i felt last year. Of course, I get paid full pop, plus travel to serve. I was on the jury for two weeks and two of us held out and caused a mistrial. It was the flakiest misdo child molest case that can be imagined. I shudder to think 10 people were happy to convict a guy for doing titty twisters during a basketball game.

I know that asshole. He usually ends up getting his bell rung.
Autocorrect, or is that a thing?
I didnt notice. Yes.
I guess kitty twisters would be considered straight up molestation.
Why not both?
Speaking of corrupt jokes….Ted Wheeler in Portland is one crazy wokeassnag.

Portland apparently removed urinals too.
Wtf?
If I want to piss in a urinal does that make me an extremist?
Just piss in the corner against the wall.
If you pee standing up, not only do you have toxic masculinity, but you’re a Nazi.
Best reply in the comments.
Let’s trade Cali for Hong Kong.
The funny thing is, when Wheeler was on the county commission two offices before, he was the more sane & moderate one of the bunch. He’s slipped further into insanity over the years.
What is the story behind this? I missed it/don’t remember.
Know your meme
LOL they’re right
Ha! Those are excellent.
Thanks. Now that I see that, I feel like I’ve asked before. My memory is shit.
The honorable so and so has requested my presence at the courthouse on oct. 21, 10:30 am. Jury summons. This should be interesting. I have been here ten years and wondered why I have not been pressed into service before. Very small parish and nearly never have trials. I wonder what this is for.
Lucky you. Both my wife and I got tagged this summer again. It’s not nearly as frequent as Hyperion but still every couple of years. Part of the problem, I think, is that it’s for one day only and if they don’t need jurors or jurors over a certain number by the night before, it’s on to next day’s group on the following day.
Come to Baltimore, then as one of the 50 non-felons living in the city, you get to do it every year.

Assholes should work on their pronunciation of “pò sì jiù”.
Gah.
That banner would make the Red Guard proud.
And a little child shall lead them
Wayne is dead. Get on with your life, assholes.
Seriously, what are we going to do with all of the mush brained shit stirrers the universities are cranking out?
It’s gonna take a hell of a lot of Starbucks to employ ’em all.
Plant, a junior majoring in fine arts, said the exhibit makes students feel unsafe.
It makes them feel unsafe! These assholes are beginning to make me rethink my opposition to conscription.
“Does the institution care about the students that exists? Or does it serve money?”
The latter of course. But it shouldn’t be about either. It should taking retards like you and pound the stupid out of your brains full of mush.
a noted white supremacist [and] racist
Yeah, that’s what John Wayne is known for.
Having his items up is a stance against people like myself.
Opposition to cowards and mental midgets who hate this country and traditional Western values? A grain of truth in their shitpile.
If only they could see my certified membership in the John Wayne School of Indian Affairs.
“a junior majoring in fine arts”
I’m pretty sure ‘fine arts’ these days means ‘I get to sit around and smoke pot all day and play on my phone, and you get to pay for it’.
Cleaned out the mail box. Full of politics ads.
Apparently, somehow, they have me down as an uber prog, because I get the uber prog ads. So I have this ad from the Democrats explaining that the Republican candidate has an NRA A rated and has voted against every single gun control measure the Democrats have tried to get through the state house. The other ad, from the actual candidate, is full on “Hey I think children should not be shot, but my opponent is in favor of that. Save the children. Vote for me.”
O Kerrygold butter!! Where have you been all my life???
Yeah, that’s great butter.
You just tried it? Welcome to the club, ma’am!
It is The Lord’s own butter, as far as I’m concerned.
You guys are still up? You guys are crazy.
Yeah….got hurdles to overcome before sleep.
Dude and dudette, I went from stone sober to work to drinking to slobbering drunk in all the time you all have been hanging out. Props.
Hmmm…the math checks out. Well, I do need my retinue to keep me active…
I have no comments on my relative sobriety throughout the evening…
And?
I went from stone sober to well past tipsy, back to stone sober and I’m working on a bottle of Tequila now.
Catch up, would you? We’ve got a reputation to uphold here.
working on a bottle of Tequila
Land of the rising upchuck?
I can do tequila based drinks again, but straight tequila brings back memories.
Umm, in the dairy aisle?
Great stuff, it is true.
I will be contrarian and admit that despite several attempts, I can’t get past the strong/weird flavor. Regular butter for me.
Most UCS comment by a commenter not UCS, ever.
So I took them time to look up my State Rep the other day, yeah, full blown SJW with racism included, ugh.

Curious, does anyone bother ever calling/writing their State Rep or State Senators? I’m interested in trying to be more involved but I don’t even know how. Trying to read the Ohio State Congress events/calendars/bills is cryptic. How do people do this stuff?
Not the slightest idea who mine are. I just assume it’s a stepping stone for higher office and I’ll hear more from them when they’ve failed upwards and are busily plotting to remove more of my freedoms.
^this^
When we allowed politics to become a career, it was pretty much over as far as this Constitution and freedom stuff.
Children!
Children!
Children are the future!
